Travel scribbles

Day 0 - Delhi to Aut My last trek was Brahmatal in November, I suppose. I had been thinking about finally hiking in Nepal for some time but planning often does not culminate into execution. Especially when it comes to traveling. I suppose that's organic. For me it was due to leave limitations. I'm after all, a rat in a cage with the delusions of purpose. No more! This rat had had enough! Tirthan valley is home to a lot of beginner level treks which can be easily done from April onwards. I have been in touch with a local who informed me of the adverse conditions in the past few weeks. But I just wanted to try my luck nevertheless. I planned to hike Marahni peak which is at a moderate altitude of 3600m. A lot of trekkers judge a trek by it's altitude. I knew enough to avoid doing that. Although, I did study the altitude profile and it didn't seem to be much. The bus left at 9 pm from ISBT. I planned to deboard at Aut, take a shared cab to Tourist in
